Jordan's Passover Feast.

SELMA, Ala, Dec lS.-William w
Jordan, faith doctor, has been living
IN Selma for the past twelve months
and had in that time acquired grea'
'ufluence over the negroes, whom he
,od that he had c,me to redeem the
Jews. He arranged for the passover
feast at the house of two colored wo
men on the outskirts of the city this
morning and told them that sacrifice
was necessary. Francis Driver said
she was willing to offer herself up as a
sacrifice, and laid her head on the table.
Jordan thereupon took sword and
struck her several blows on the neck
and stabbed her number of times,
killing her instantly. The body was
then dragged out into the street by tae
two other women. A white woman
witnessed the affair and gave the
alarm. The police arrested Jordan
and conveyed him to prison. The two
negro women who were present at the
feast have also been arrested. Tn.
negroes are greatly excited and threat
en lyneh law. The chief of police
says Jordan is undoubtedly crazy.

Concerning the Kiirain Smith fgh,
which took place last Monday on an
island in the Seine river twenty miles
from Rouen, France, and which was
declared a draw after l05 rounds had
been fought, the New York World of
Tuesday says:
In the pr, sence of the most noble
Marquis of Que-rsberry, Lord Mayo,
Lord de Clifford, Lord Thurston and
other distinguished noblemen and gen.
try, a tough citizen of Great Britain
and a tough citizen of the United
States pummell-d each other for sever
al hours yesterday on picturesque
island in the river Seine to decide
which of the twain should thereafter
be entitled the champion of the world.
This brutal exhibition was conducted,
1t seems, with due regard to the prop
critics of such brutal exhibitions, and
not in accordance with the mild code
as laid down by the Most Noble Mar
quis who had the place of honor
among the spectators. That the great
question of championship was not de-
cided, after all, was not the fault either
of Mr.. Kilrain or Mr.. Smith, but is
chargeable to the fact that the day
was not long enough. 1t is consolinse
to observe that the puglls,s punished
each other severely, and there is solace
also in the thought that the day has
passed when such disgraceful meetings
can take place on American or Englisf
soil with impuniSy to the participants

Petitions are in circulation asking
congress to provide fractional paper
currency for nse in the mails. This
would undoubtedly be great conven
ience TO the public. 1t is now impos-
sible to send any amount less than a
dollar with safety through the mails,
except by money order or postal note.
These can be obtained only at money
order post offices, the former at a cost
Of 8 cent, and the latter cents. Be
sides the cost, the annoyance of being
obliged to go to the post office, and
the necessity of waiting while the
mails are being distributed might be
avoided by the issue of paper currency
Such currency could be issued through
the post offices the same as stamps, and
then everybody could be accom- dated.
Now, people who live in the country
at distance from money order office
have no way of sending money by
mail except in even dollars, unless they
risk it in silver If registered, this
costs ten cents.

FRIDAY, DEt EMBER 2a, 1877,

The Republican leaders concede that
they cannot win in 1883 unless they
can carry Indiana aud New York.
The Democrats are entirely satisfied
that neither State can be carried by
that party. John G. New, of the In

nation of Baine would be suicidal.
He thinks Indiana can be carried b>
any other Republican, but adds: 1--WE
might a. well talk about man fiving

ing Indiana, after his letter in which
he said that he could not get justice

A Fatal Premonition
THE STRANGE AND AWFUL FULLFII.MENI
OF A,HoRRIBLE DREAM.

INrIANA, Dec. l7.-There is a most
singular circumstance connected with
the death of liltle son of Jacob Con
dron, who resides two miles from
Smicksburg, in West Mahoning town.
ship. The family are highly respect
ed and the truthfulness of this incident
is vouched for by responsible parties.
On Monday night of last week, Mrs.
Condron dreamed that her baby, boy
thirteen months old, was accidentally y
burned from the effects of which it
died, and that at the time OF the acai-
dent her husband was away from
home, and the sad news was conveyed
to him by Mr.. Postlewaith, a neighbor
residing two miles away. On Tuesday
morning before Mr., Condron went to
his 'ork some distance from home
she told him of her dream. He was
much impressed with the narrative and
meeting his father a short time after
told him about it. The dream preyed
considerably on Mrs. Condron's mind
that morning, but being busy with hel
household affairs, the terrible sceoe OF
ker dream was fading from her mem
ory. About ten o'clock in the fore
noon she went out of the house for {
moment, but was soon recalled by the
screams OF her ba,e. She rushed int,
the house to find her babe wrapped il
flames, She made haste to extinguist
the fire, but did not succeed until th
child was terribly burned. After max
ing the little one as comfortable as pos
sible, her next thought was to sent
word to Mr.. Condron. just then Mr.
Postlewaith came along, and bore tn
sad news to the father. The child liv
ed until the next day, when death end
ed its sufferings. This is one of tn
most remarkable cases of ful6lllmen
of a dream that has ever come TO ou
Knowledge, and is uu.xplicable.

EIGHT LIVES LOST IN A DISASTER,


ST. Jous, N. b., Dec. 1s.--Eight
bodies mangled almost beyond recogni-
ton wer, removed from beneath the
ice in the Caraquet River this morning.
The story of the accident leading to
this loss Of lite is q terrible one and
has never been excelled In the annals
Of railway accidents in this part OF
Canada The disaster occurred yester-
day afternoon at point about forty
miles from Bathurst, the capital OF
Gloucester county, one OF the Northern
counties Of the province. For several
days past the locality has been visited
by tremendous snow storms.
On the Csraquet Railway the storms
were very severe. Drifts were piled
across the track. Or Saturday after.
noon, about 2 o'clock, the acconmoda.
ton train filed with passengers LETT
the village of Caraquet bound to
Bathurst. The train was preceded by
an engine provided with snow plow.
AS the train approached the bridge at
McIntOsh's Cove, the lookout men
ahead observed that a huge Drift lay
across the track on the West side oi
the bridge. They determined to de.
tach the engine and plow from the
rest of the train and plunge into the
drift, expecting that little trouble
wo ild be experienced in removing the
obstruction. There were thirteen per
sons-an unlucky number it proved
who essayed to accompany the driver
Of the engine on h,s trip.
When full head of steam had been
secured the engineer pulled out the
throttle and the engine dashed forward
The men on board the locomotive
cheered as they begun their mad race
passengers in response waving thell
mats and handkerchiefs. Scarcely had
the centre of tie bridge been reached
than the passengers we're Mortified 10
observe the plow leaving the rails, aud
in an instant both the plow and the
engine had run off the track and
plunged into the abyss, crushing
through the thin ice that covered tb'
river and burying themselves in th'
dark tide beneath.
At the point where the accident oc
Cured the water was not over six fee
deep, but it was so covered with SNOW
and ice that only top of the engine wa
discerned. The heartrending cries o
the unfortunate men nerved the on
lockers to immediate action and man,
heroic deed was done which vii
never be recorded. Regardless o
their lives brave fishermen plunged in
to the river and worked for hours il
The hope Of saving the lives of the un
fortunates. They we're only partiall
successful, as out of the thirteen VIII
had started out on that errand of dut
there were eight who would breath
no more. These eight poor fellow
were buried beneath the engine.
